Waiting for the vehicle ferry at Lake Windermere, unfortunately we had to give this a miss as when it arrived it was pretty clear we would ground out on the steep approach

Thanks to @lowrider for inviting me along, a great week of zedding doing what and when we wanted and then of course meeting everyone else on the Saturday. Never been Lake District, such sensory overload and great weather which I'm sure is not how the Lakes get to be there!!
 
Thanks guys, I appreciate all the pics you and all others post as I don't have much to see around here after travelling the same three roads out over thirty years! Especially like the areas you have at hand which offer such differing sites to see! PleAse keep them coming. JIM
